a^{2}\times 5=91\times 0.67
Multiply both sides of the equation by 7.
a^{2}\times 5=60.97
Multiply 91 and 0.67 to get 60.97.
a^{2}=\frac{60.97}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
a^{2}=\frac{6097}{500}
Expand \frac{60.97}{5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.
a=\frac{\sqrt{30485}}{50} a=-\frac{\sqrt{30485}}{50}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
a^{2}\times 5=91\times 0.67
Multiply both sides of the equation by 7.
a^{2}\times 5=60.97
Multiply 91 and 0.67 to get 60.97.
a^{2}\times 5-60.97=0
Subtract 60.97 from both sides.
5a^{2}-60.97=0
Quadratic equations like this one, with an x^{2} term but no x term, can still be solved using the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}, once they are put in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0.
a=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 5\left(-60.97\right)}}{2\times 5}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 5 for a, 0 for b, and -60.97 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
a=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 5\left(-60.97\right)}}{2\times 5}
Square 0.
a=\frac{0±\sqrt{-20\left(-60.97\right)}}{2\times 5}
Multiply -4 times 5.
a=\frac{0±\sqrt{1219.4}}{2\times 5}
Multiply -20 times -60.97.
a=\frac{0±\frac{\sqrt{30485}}{5}}{2\times 5}
Take the square root of 1219.4.
a=\frac{0±\frac{\sqrt{30485}}{5}}{10}
Multiply 2 times 5.
a=\frac{\sqrt{30485}}{50}
Now solve the equation a=\frac{0±\frac{\sqrt{30485}}{5}}{10} when ± is plus.
a=-\frac{\sqrt{30485}}{50}
Now solve the equation a=\frac{0±\frac{\sqrt{30485}}{5}}{10} when ± is minus.
a=\frac{\sqrt{30485}}{50} a=-\frac{\sqrt{30485}}{50}
The equation is now solved.
